Metro Washington Council afl-cio

If Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wants to create good jobs, he can start with his Las Vegas hotel. That’s the message of a major noontime picket today at the Trump hotel in downtown Washington, D.C. Workers at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas recently voted to unionize, “But," says Elizabeth Bunn, Director of Organizing at the AFL-CIO, "hotel management and Donald Trump have made it clear they would rather waste time and money on a hostile anti-union campaign then give workers fair pay and good benefits.” Metro Council Executive Director Carlos Jimenez reports that “We’ve been hearing from locals and internationals across the city that they’ll be there with us today to tell Donald Trump to sit down and negotiate with workers at his hotel in Las Vegas. Let's send Trump a strong message from the nation's capital!"
